that's the lie of the minimalism: blaming stress and life misery on the stuff you own. Is rather what you don't own the cause of stress and misery.

- velmu 4y agoHuh? Imagine owning a motorboat and not owning a motorboat. Who has the stress?
- SaintSeiya84 4y agothe one without the motorboat that will be probably poorer than the first and cannot take his family on a motorboat trip every weekend. Also renting a motorboat is a stressor too in case you can afford it.
- now__what 4y agoA motorboat is a silly example that most people don't want anyway. Minimalism is, like consumerism, still obsessed with things. Hop onto r/minimalism and you'll quickly find many people who stress over not having fewer material possessions, and who force themselves to forgo essentials like clothing and hygiene products. It's not the final answer.
- NemoNobody 4y ago"Lie of minimalism" - I've never encountered that belief before - you've obviously never tried it. Minimalism doesn't mean "going without" it means finding out what you need to be happy, and having only that stuff.
